It doesn't soothe my fears after reading about what happened in Toronto:
Female college students videoed in the shower by male students.
Women sexually assaulted in women's shelters by a man "claiming" to be "transgender."
Guess we should be weary of straight males then. I thought gays were such as a deviant people, it seems like straight men most have a lot of problems too.
There have been only a handful of these cases. Like I said. It's extremely rare. Like being struck by lightning.
Until now that Obama has opened it up to the entire USA, and specifically to schoolchildren.
Why is it acceptable to you to victimize more girls/women, who are 51% of the population, to make 0.3% of the population happy? Have you NOT yet recognized that male sexual predators will take advantage of this?

Straight men are FAR more likely to victimize women. But now, they can just camouflage themselves by "claiming" to be "transgender." No questions asked.

You comments reek of a failure to think critically.
Exactly the opposite. YOURS do.

Your logic defies understanding and is completely boggling. People with an intent to harass, molest, physically assault, or rape people are going to do so regardless as to the law or the signs on the doors. They’re already acting with malicious intent. No would-be rapist is going to pause at the door of a bathroom and say ‘oh, it looks like I’m not allowed in here, never mind.’ This attitude completely mischaracterized the reality of rape, and creates very real dangers. 82 percent of rapes are committed by people known to the victim, not complete strangers (of any gender) charging into bathrooms.
The myth that rape is committed by total strangers in random, violent attacks has serious implications for law enforcement, rape victims/survivors, and advocates. People may not identify an act of sexual violence as rape if it doesn’t fit the narrative of what ‘rape’ looks like, while fearmongering about bathroom sexual assault puts people on high alert for a threat that does not actually exist. If you are concerned about rape and sexual assault, we should be focusing on areas where it’s a serious problem, like the military and college and university system, where sexual harassment and rape are both rampant.
To date, the number of instances of rape committed by transgender people of any gender in restrooms is zero.
Women and children in a public restroom run a zero percent chance of being assaulted by a transgender person.
Meanwhile, many transgender people report being harassed in public restrooms on the basis of their gender, and this harassment includes physical assault as well as rape.
Here's a item from our local police daily media report

Indecent Exposure
LA Fitness, 3501 W. Maple Road, 5/26/2015, 2:40 PM: Female patron was showering in the women’s locker room when she observed a male subject in the locker room. She told him he was in the wrong locker room. The woman a few minutes later observed the subject watching her from under the stall. The suspect lunged at the woman and she fled the locker room. The suspect was identified, arrested on June 1 and arraigned on June 2. Was charged with Indecent Exposure by Sexually Delinquent Person, Surveil Nude Person and Assault and Battery.

Indeed. As I mentioned early, at least 3 "family values" Republicans have been arrested for restroom misbehavior - 4 if you count Hastert's locker-room crimes - and there have been 0 instances of rape committed by transgender people. Based on the numbers, we should be keeping right-wingers out of restrooms.
More baffling though is this nutty belief that allowing a transgender person to use the appropriate restroom is somehow a "free invitation" to commit a crime, no questions asked. That's not what is going on here - letting a male to female transgender person use the lady's room does not also grant them the right to commit a crime there. Of course, there's also the fact that there's absolutely nothing preventing crimes from being committed in restrooms by straight people, either. No magical force-field pops up if a male rapist wants to charge into the lady's room to commit a crime, and him claiming he's transgender doesn't lower the magical force-field or get him off the hook if he does commit a crime. Ugh... I have so little respect for the far right since they rarely even argue reality vs. the nutty constructs in their minds.
So, unless the far right is proposing hiring bathroom monitors to guard the restrooms of 'mericah, they are missing the point entirely by trying to draw some crazy distinction between how a transgender person might commit a restroom crime vs. a straight person.
